End of Summer weekend

We had two couples for an end of the summer weekend getaway from Dallas. The condo was wonderful and exactly as promised. It seemed like we were close enough to touch the gulf. I could see sunrise and sunset from the large balcony. Pool was nice too. We spent all our time on the beach or in the condo. All meals were cooked in the condo and the kitchen was fully equipped. We bought fresh fish from the recommended fish market. Why would I want to eat anywhere else. Nothing could beat that view.

Owner response:Thanks John. We're always impressed with our friends from Texas who drive past their own beaches to come to ours. It's obviously worth the drive!! See you this Summer!

Stayed with my daughter & niece. We had lots of room. 5/21/2011 thru 5/27/2011. Glorious weather, great views both day & night from the balcony. Best beach service ever. Howard was amazing to work with & the Condo was exactly as it was described. Impressed by Security & overall landscaping. The pool area, inside & out, was immaculate. Close to restaurants & shopping. Telling all my friends about this property. We will definitely be coming back to this wonderful Tradewinds Condo and Orange Beach AL area.

THANK YOU Howard! Our trip was great and your condo was perfect. The beaches were beautiful, clean and no sign of oil whatsoever! I'll definitely recommend it to our friends.

My wife and I and three children ranging in ages from 4-7 really had a great time at your Condo! We love the beach, and did in fact see dolphins each day from the balcony...especially in the mornings. Sea shells are fun for the kids to collect, and the beach was big enough to spread out and enjoy without feeling crowded out. In addition, there are plenty of places to dine out at each night, and you never have to hit the same place twice, unless of course the food was great! We'll be back again for sure sometime in the future!

Owner response:We have had many long term winter guests from the northern U.S. and Canada but we were particularly flattered that someone would travel as far away as Michigan for a one week visit-- we must be doing something right! We're looking forward to hearing them again. Our goal is to create annual guests not just one time visitors! Sincerely, Howard & Annettee, Owners

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in the condo. All of our expectations were met/exceeded. The view is wonderful and the location couldn't be better. This was our first trip to the beach in 7 years, but we won't wait that long again. We'd love to stay in this condo again.

Wonderful condo!! Cleanest one yet, great beds and howard was great to work with. Would most diffently return to this condo again.

Owner response:We use a housekeeping service that uses a commercial laundry exchange which means fresh sheets are brought in between guests. Commercial laundries literally boil the sheets and towels giving each bed a set of sterile sheets and each bath extremely clean towels. We have a "no-cooties" promise on our linens.

We have been vacationing in Gulf Shores for several years now, and I must say that this condo is by far our favorite place! From the AMAZING and EXPANSIVE balcony view, down the high-in bed linens and decor, this condo is perfect! I can't say that I would change one thing. The trip to the beach is short and easy, and the pool is just steps off the elevator. We have certainly found our "home away from home", and plan to return next year!

The condo was MORE than We expected. It had so many extras and personal touches. We would definitely recommend this condo to anyone who wanted a beach front condo. The beach at the condo wasn't as crowded as other places we have stayed in the past & that was more of a plus. Consider staying here on your next visit to Orange Beach.
